Function
CHI2_YERET Part of an orally active toxin complex (TC) with strong insecticidal effects on larvae of the Coleoptera Costelytra zealandica, Acrossidius tasmania and Adoryphorus couloni and some Lepidoptera larvae (PubMed:21278295). The TC has an endochitinase activity (PubMed:21278295, PubMed:22158901) (Probable). This subunit might aid infection by degradation of the larval peritrophic membrane (Probable).[1] [2] [3]
